Tashkent and Ashgabat, the capitals of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, have a long history, while Dushanbe in Tajikistan, Almaty in Kazakhstan and Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan were created by the Bolsheviks to emphasise the ethnic identity of these nationalities. Uzbekistan is home to four famous historical cities of Central Asia – Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva and Kokand. These are the capitals of nomadic empires and great states of the past, as well as the centres of Islamic cultural development in the Central Asian region. For centuries, the numerous madrasas and Islamic colleges in Bukhara and Samarkand have attracted students from distant lands. For many Muslims, Bukhara is a place of pilgrimage and an important Islamic city, second in importance only to Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. Central Asia is also the place of origin of Sufism – a school of thought in Islam (VII-VIII century) that quickly spread to Africa and Asia.
